A gangster robs a bank, but another person steals his theft and hands the bag full of money to Lucky, a young man who is known for his coincidence of bad luck with good luck. Frustrated and restless, Lucky is determined to regain the possession of his loot.

Cast

Production

Director Raj Kiran, who was known for directing the film Geethanjali announced his next project with Vishnu Manchu in the lead role. The name Luckunnodu was finalized after previous movies with similar names had been successful due to their catchy names including Speedunnodu and Sarrainodu.

Hansika Motwani was selected to play the female lead opposite Vishnu, marking her third collaboration with him after Denikaina Ready and Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummeda.[3]

Soundtrack

Praveen Lakkaraju composed all of the music except for one song, "Ravera", which was composed by Achu Rajamani. All the songs were released under the Silly Monks Music label with the song "O Siri Malli" being released under the Sony Music label.

Reception

Critical response

Suhas Yellapantula from The New Indian Express wrote "You pinch yourself to believe it when he says it a second time, but when you realise that it's a constant fixture in the film -- you know it's time to leave the theatre".[5] A reviewer of 123Telugu wrote "However, a slightly dragged out second half and lack of grip in the proceedings during this time makes this film just an okay watch this weekend".[6] Ch Sowmya Sruthi from The Times of India says "The episodes in the first half where Vishnu Manchu immitates his dad Mohan Babu’s dialogue delivery got the loudest whistles".[7]
